CD AssignmentYou will create a front and back cover to insert into a blank CD case.

First you will open Photoshop and create two new blank documents. Both of these documents should be approximately 4.875 inches * 4.875 inches.

Front Cover:• CD Name and Band Names in fonts of your choice from Good-Tutorials.com • Fictional Band Name in font of your choice.• Use your own pictures only. Every item on both covers must be something you took a picture of.• An appropriate and well planned background if your picture is smaller than 4.875 inches. Gradients are always a nice option too for backgrounds.

Back Cover:• Five pictures. Your five pictures can be band members playing music, singing, signing autographs, or you can make a collage (See The Beatles Sergeant Lonely Hearts Club Band or Revolver down below for good collage examples).• Track List• Copyright Information• Well-designed background
